One team, six servicesServices explained in one place
What Is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is an approach that uses principles of learning and behaviour to support practical, meaningful skills. ABA therapy may focus on functional communication, everyday routines, play, social participation, and independence. Goals should reflect the child’s strengths, preferences, support needs, and family priorities rather than follow a one-size-fits-all program.
How ABA support is delivered matters, too. A thoughtful plan starts by understanding what the child can already do, where support would be helpful, and what progress would look like in everyday life. Families should be involved in choosing goals and reviewing progress. Learn more about our ABA assessments and how they inform individualized support.
Ontario families may have questions about where therapy takes place, how to involve caregivers, and which funding options apply. This page compares our six service pathways so you can explore the right starting point. Availability depends on your location, the service requested, and current scheduling; contact us for an up-to-date discussion.

ABA therapy sessions — everyday practice
In-person ABA sessions can use play, structured teaching, and everyday activities to practise agreed-upon skills. The setting and frequency should fit the child’s needs and the family’s schedule. Ask us about staffing, session format, and continuity in your area before getting started.
Clinical planning and progress review
ABA support should include assessment-informed goals, clear documentation, family input, and regular review of what is working. During a consultation, ask about the qualifications and Ontario registration status of the professional responsible for clinical oversight, the review schedule, and how updates are shared with families.

Funding Your Child's Program
Depending on eligibility and the services required, families may use Ontario Autism Program (OAP) core clinical services funding, private insurance benefits, or self-payment. OAP registration does not automatically mean funding is available immediately, and insurance coverage varies by plan. Review the official Ontario OAP funding guidelines and contact AccessOAP or your insurer to verify your situation.
